(A) Repairs to the service pipe shall be made by and at the expense of the customer. All other repairs to the property of the Water Department shall be made by the city. If excavation is required to determine what repairs are necessary, the customer is responsible for and shall bear the expense of such excavation.
(B) If an examination reveals that repairs are necessary to the service pipe, the customer bears the responsibility for and the expense of all repairs, as well as the responsibility for and the expense of refilling the excavation and restoring the property to its original condition. If an examination reveals that repairs are to be made only to the property of the Water Department, the city shall be responsible for and bear the expense of refilling the excavation and restoring the property to its original condition, as well as for the expense of excavation up to an amount of $100.
(C) If the city determines that it is responsible for the repairs, but the customer makes repairs and/or replacement of the service pipe, the customer then becomes responsible for and bears the expense of filling in the excavation and restoring the property to its original condition, plus the entire cost of the excavation.
